Moving on the floor now babe you're a bird of paradiseCherry ice cream smile I suppose it's very niceWith a step to your left and a flick to the rightYou catch that mirror way out westYou know you're something special And you look like you're the best

Her name is rio and she dances on the sandJust like that river twisting through a dusty landAnd when she shines she really shows you all she canOh rio rio dance across the rio grande

I've seen you on the beach and I've seen you on tvTwo of a billion stars it means so much to meLike a birthday or a pretty viewBut then I'm sure that you know it's just for you

Hey now look at that did he nearly run you downAt the end of the drive the lawmen arrive you make me feelAlive, alive, alive

I'll take my chance cause luck is on my sideI tell you something I know what you're thinkingI tell you something I know what you're thinking

Her name is rio and she dances on the sandJust like that river twists across a dusty landAnd when she shines she really shows you all she canOh rio rio dance across the rio grande

Her name is rio she don't need to understandI might find her if I'm looking like I canOh rio rio hear them shout across the landFrom mountains in the north down to the rio grande
